Meet the team

Every day our colleagues live our values of passionate, caring and teamwork to empower residents to enjoy fulfilling lives.

The dedicated and experienced team at Lauder Lodge will provide your loved one with care that is completely tailored to their individual needs and wishes.

A highlight for me of any day is having the chance to walk around the home. It’s a great opportunity to catch up with the people we care for, and to check that colleagues have everything they need. It helps to keep me connected to what’s happening around the home and why we do what we do.

What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Lauder Lodge care home.

The staff they have are very friendly. they make a point of knowing who you are. It is quite difficult for them as my relative does not want to get involved but they try their best to encourage her.

Relative of a resident, April 2021

I want to thank you and all those who have been involved in my friend's care so far for doing such a wonderful job in welcoming him to Lauder Lodge and in supporting him during the very important settling in period. His recent comments have really shown us that we have chosen the right home for him and that he is very happy with the care he is receiving. We have seen a significant difference in him. Having lived in isolation for several years, he is reconnecting with the people around him and taking an interest in his environment. He is looking out of the window and enjoying seeing movement and life beyond his bedroom window. I can't wait to see him on the balcony and in the garden when it gets warmer again. Thank you to all of you for continuing to provide such high quality care in these difficult times.

Friend of a resident, May 2020

The staff are all very caring, patient and cheerful. They are well trained and they encourage him in to take part in activities.

Ms Norma Turnbull, March 2019

People are always there when we have any questions. They are helpful in an easy way and it had never been a problem to ask them questions.

Relative, March 2019

Everyone at Lauder Lodge – a belated Christmas treat from Doreen’s two daughters. Thanks again for all you did for Mum.
